We have the solutions to the climate crisis. What is missing to solve the climate crisis is political will. We the people need to tell our elected officials it’s time that polluting industries pay a “dumping” fee, and that we want the money returned to households to help us all make the shift to the clean energy economy of the 21st Century. The price of more delay is economic and human disaster. Our children deserve better.

What does ‘vague’ mean in this context? Is she merely saying she’s specific about what she wants?
Great sign, at any rate.
I think “vague” refers to the complaints many outside the movement have re: Occupy’s “one demand”. They don’t (want to?) understand that it is about opposing corporate greed, and the reduction of everything, including people and our ecosystem, into a commodity.
For a humourous take on this, check out The Onion: “Nation Waiting For Protestors To Clearly Articulate Demands Before Ignoring Them” http://www.theonion.com/articles/nation-waiting-for-protesters-to-clearly-articulat,26353/
I saw that article! Great commentary. Seems pretty clear whose side The Onion is on.
I love the sign… 🙂
